We're going to see the value of some collectors' games go down this week as Rez HD hits the Xbox Live Arcade. For $10, or 800 Microsoft points, you can get the experience that some people have paid upwards of $80 for on the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast. Let's take a look at the feature list, because we're in for a good time:

Legendary gaming experience: Old-school vector style graphics, sensory response, and beat synchronization sets the title apart and is perfectly recreated in this port for Xbox LIVEÃ‚Â® Arcade in high-definition and 5.1 surround sound.
The world of Rez: Rez consists of five different levels, each with its own unique visual theme and style, musical track, and a boss battle at the end. The game also features several different modes and lots of unlockable elements, giving it plenty of replay value.

Game modes: Play through the five areas in regular or Score Attack mode. Go to the Beyond mode and try Direct Assault, Lost Mode, the free play Trance Mission, or take on all the bosses consecutively in Boss Rush.
Feel the rhythm: To further enhance the Rez experience, artists including Coldcut, Adam Freeland, Joujouka, Ken Ishii and Keiichi Sugiyama (SEGA's Wave Master) contributed tracks to the game.
I've played the absolute heck out of the PlayStation 2 version of this game, and I think the fact that now everyone can experience it for $10 is absolutely amazing. This is a great addition to the Live Arcade. If you like rhythm games, or shooters, or just psychedelic visuals in general, this is a must-buy.

I sold my copies of Rez PS2 and Ikaruga GC as soon as I heard they were coming to XBLA (before Christmas).
